QBP recalling some Salsa forks

BLOOMINGTON, MN (BRAIN) — QBP is recalling about 1,700 Salsa brand forks because they can bend above the disc brake mount. The forks were sold individually and with the Salsa Vaya and Salsa La Cruz framesets and complete bikes.

Earlier this year QBP enacted a recall of some Puglsey fat bike forks for a similar problem. According to a CPSC recall notice, the Salsa forks were manufactured by CWI in Taiwan; the Pugsley forks were manufactured by Aprebic Industry Co. Ltd. in Taiwan.

The forks were sold from February 2011 through June 2012. The chromoly Salsa Vaya forks are orange or dark gray. La Cruz bicycle forks are black. The manufacturer’s insignia “CWI” is stamped on the steerer tube.

Salsa Cycles has received eight reports of forks bending above the disc brake mount. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using bikes equipped with the forks and contact a Salsa dealer for a free inspection, replacement fork or a full refund.
